Chapter 213 Palace Exam
"You can still think about it." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

At noon, Uncle Chen happily took Mao Mingxuan to drink with him, but he accidentally got drunk, so Su Shi even sent someone to the yamen to ask him for half a day off.

Mao Mingxuan also drank a lot, and when he returned to his room, his face was still flushed.

"Master, do you want a bowl of hangover soup?" Little Huzi asked from the side.

Mao Mingxuan waved his hand. He can drink a lot. Although he drank a lot today, he is still not drunk.

Seeing him touching the purse on his waist and laughing, Xiao Huzi knew that he was missing Mao Tongtong.

"Master, didn't you say that you saw the girl last time? If she knows that you have won the lottery, she will be very happy."

"She must know now." Mao Mingxuan laughed.

Since Ba Ye is so spoiled that he can bring his younger sister to see him, he will naturally pay attention to his exam results.Therefore, he was not worried that Mao Tongtong would not know.

If Mao Tongtong would be in front of him, he would be jumping and jumping happily, and immediately gave him a big hug.

In the palace, Mao Tongtong hadn't sat down since he learned that Mao Mingxuan had won Huiyuan.She walked up and down the room with a smile on her face.

Now she wants to share the joy in her heart with others.But the eighth master didn't come back, and the family members were not around, Qing Zhu and the others couldn't say anything except congratulations, thinking about it, it really felt a little suffocated.

Fortunately, Ba Ye seemed to have heard her heart, and came back at noon.

"Master is back!" Mao Tongtong took the initiative to win today.

"What's wrong?" Eighth Master was a little surprised.When he first entered Elder Brother's office, he had already heard from Chen Guo that Mao Mingxuan had won Huiyuan.He thought that Mao Tongtong must be very happy, but looking at it now, his expression was not quite right.

"Brother Numai won Huiyuan! Huiyuan! No.1!" Mao Tongtong pulled Ba Ye and began to mutter: "It's really amazing! No. 17 in the world! Do you think Big Brother Numai is very powerful? He's only [-] years old !"

This is like becoming the number one student in the national college entrance examination in modern times.Mao Tongtong is proud of having a big brother who is a top student.

Only now did Ba Ye understand that Mao Tongtong was depressed because no one showed off the good news!
"The No. [-] scholar is the best in the world, and the imperial examination will be held five days later." Ba Ye said with a smile.

"Can't you say something nice? You have to pour cold water on people!" Mao Tongtong gave Ba Ye a dissatisfied look, and said: "The palace test is the ranking given by the Long Live Lord, and the servant boy is now the number one in the world!"

For Mao Tongtong's blind praise of Mao Mingxuan, Ba Ye was really speechless.However, even he had to admit that Mao Mingxuan was really powerful.After all, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it seems that no one has won two yuan at the age of 17.

"Okay, your elder brother is the most powerful, let's do it." Eighth Master laughed and cooperated.

"It's just amazing." Mao Tongtong said proudly.

"Then do you want to celebrate today?" Ba Ye said.

"Master, when the results of the imperial examination come out, can you bring the slave to meet the elder brother again? The slave wants to celebrate with the elder brother." Mao Tongtong said.

"You will make a request!" Ba Ye said: "It depends on the situation. I am also busy these few days, and I have to move in a few days. I am afraid I will not have time."

"But you promised that I will see my elder brother once more!" Mao Tongtong was in a hurry, "Didn't you say that you will go outside the Great Wall after moving? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to see him?"

"Since I promised you, I will naturally not break my promise." Ba Ye said: "I promise to let you meet once before your elder brother leaves."

Only then did Mao Tongtong feel relieved.She still believed in Ba Ye's promise.At least so far, Ba Ye hasn't broken his promise to her.

Five days passed in a flash.The high-profile palace test has finally begun.

Standing outside the high palace wall, Mao Mingxuan couldn't help feeling excited.

Seeing the emperor is not the same as seeing Ba Ye.Although Ba Ye is a Baylor, in Mao Mingxuan's eyes, he is more regarded as a Mao Tongtong man.As Mao Tongtong's eldest brother, he was very critical of Ba Ye in his heart, and he felt like an uncle.

But the emperor is different, he is the lord of the world, the king of a country, who controls the life and death of the whole world, and is the object of his loyalty when he enters the court and becomes an official!
There was apprehension, anticipation, and a little bit of fear in my heart.But thinking about the goal in his heart, Mao Mingxuan's mood gradually calmed down.

Song Mingyi was also among those who participated in the palace examination.Of course, with his ranking, he can only stand at the back, and there are not one or two people separated from Mao Mingxuan who stands in the first place.

When Chaoyang jumped out from behind the clouds, the heavy palace gate was slowly opened, and the servants who led Mao Mingxuan and the others into the palace came out.

"Please follow the servants to this way." The eunuch made a gesture of invitation.

Mao Mingxuan nodded slightly, and stepped into the palace gate first.

Although it was the first time he stepped into the palace gate, Mao Mingxuan did not look around.There is an indescribable solemnity in the cold palace road.

Today's palace examination was held in the Hall of Preservation, and the little eunuch led Mao Mingxuan and his party to the gate of the Hall of Preservation and retreated.

Looking at the desks that had been set up in the hall, everyone's hearts were raised.

Whether it can regain a better ranking, this is the last chance.

After being led to their respective seats and sat down, Kangxi came out.

Everyone stood up again and saluted Kangxi together.

"Pingshen." Kangxi said.

Mao Mingxuan lowered his head, and his heart suddenly calmed down.Having reached this point, he just needs to show his true level.As for whether he can be appointed as the number one scholar by the emperor, it is beyond his control.Humans do their best.Some things are also about luck.

He believed that for him who won the club, the emperor must have read the test papers and understood his situation.

Mao Mingxuan guessed right.With a 17-year-old Huiyuan, Kangxi will naturally pay attention.After reading the test paper, it is true that what I said is logical and well-founded, and it is not general, empty and empty.Therefore, after everyone sat down again, Kangxi asked, "Which one is Mao Mingxuan from Yangzhou?"

"Grassman Mao Mingxuan sees His Majesty." Mao Mingxuan got up and stood aside, saluting again.

Kangxi sized him up, nodded and said, "17-year-old Huiyuan, this is the first time since I ascended the throne!"

Mao Mingxuan lowered his head slightly, feeling a little proud in his heart.

"I've read your article." Kangxi said, "It's really good. It depends on your performance today."

"Caomin thank the emperor for his compliment." Mao Mingxuan said, but didn't say anything else.

Kangxi smiled and nodded slightly.He just saw Mao Mingxuan's handsomeness and elegance, and he already had a good impression in his heart.Seeing that he is neither humble nor overbearing, he is more satisfied.
